Latest Microsoft Build Tools for Free (for one year)

Okay, some will say I have sold my soul, because I am promoting development tools from Microsoft, intended to pull even more people to their side. Those people can stop reading now, I really don't care.

For everyone else, Microsoft has done something pretty cool today by releasing for free the express versions of all of their new 2005 development tools. These are the equivalents of the old favorites like Visual C++ 6 and others. I always have these at my disposal via MSDN at work, but this is cool because now I can have these tools for my own personal use at home. Very nice.

Here is a nice blog post describing how and a bit of why they are doing this.
